10 Things I learned about X-men from watching "Wolverine and the X-Men"

1. Storm's whirlwind powers can deflect bullets.

2. The only way Kitty can phase a helicopter is to drop through the bottom of it.

3. Rogue can apparently control any power she absorbs. And these powers include skills. Like buSHEEdo.

4. Magneto can control the inherent properties of metal, even dissolving it to form new shit.

5. When Wolverine smells things, he creates holographic images of it in his mind.

6. Nightcrawler can teleport water.

7. Charles Xavier is Zordon. You'll get it if you get it.

I only got to 7 because there really just isn't that much to learn from it. I'm not sure why I watch it, except it's a dose of X-Men in an otherwise X-men-less life.

Fidelity

"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

Videos like this make me want to get militant. Not at the people that made the video, because the video is great. At the people for who Proposition 8 makes sense.

I have a crush...

I don't know what it is about this picture. Muscles? His expression? The fact that he's dripping? All of the above, most likely. He's so nice to look at.

And if you want even more to look at... Pages 4 and 5 are especially nice, I think.

You can also read this if you want to know a bit more about him as a person rather than an object.

I'm really not going to make a habit out of posting pretty boys, but I just liked this picture too much not to share it.

The guy that got sucked out of the plane was the lucky one

It's official. I'm done with Heroes. Last night's episode was just ridiculous, and I can't even motivate myself to write a full rant out. Claire and Peter both completely suck on the show. There was no drama with the main characters getting kidnapped. Peter's power doesn't make sense. We just glazed over how Sylar is alive again. They didn't even pretend like it was a secret, he's just walking about on his non-sensical daddy quest. Hiro could have been cool as Oracle, and then wasn't. And the plane crash was so ridiculous I don't even want to talk about it.

Now if I was a show-runner on this show, I would bring in some fresh blood that didn't suck and demote Peter and Claire to the back-row. Send Claire off to train so that she's not so completely fucking useless all the time, and just kill Peter. Give Hiro a geek job like being Oracle, cause that's cool. Get rid of Daphne and Parkman. Sylar is a good baddie, but he needs a better purpose than "are you my daddy?" I liked when he was collecting powers. Also, we need to NEVER use the future-drawing power again. Ever. I'm so done with that shit. The genosha idea could be cool, if they set it up properly, but we need to remove such heavy-handed imagery like "I'm Iranian, I know what they're doing". Ugh.

But the fact of the matter is I'll never know if they fix these things because I'm officially done with the show. I couldn't even bring myself to be interested by the preview next week. I'm finished. And it makes me angry that this show could have so much potential and it just didn't live up to it. And it makes me angry that from now on every superpower show they want to make will be compared to this garbage.

In other news Kyle XY got cancelled. Which would have made me sad about three weeks ago, but now I'm very "meh" about the whole thing. And part of me is relieved that I will have less shit to watch every week.

Good thing I didn't waste my 100th post on this crap.

100th post!!

YAY!!!!

I've made it to 100 posts! It's only taken like 2 and a half years of half-hearted blogging. I was originally going to commemorate the occasion with a review of the new Heroes that's on tonight, but why sully such a special occasion with what could be a very ranty review. So instead, we're going to celebrate with half-naked boys. Because what party isn't better with nudity? And before anyone yells, this is going to be gratuitous and kind of pervy. I know that and I don't care.

Matthew Mitcham is awesome. He was the only out athlete at the Beijing Olympics, and he's really sweet in all the interviews I've seen. He's also mad flexible.














And of course being mad hot in a towel is never a bad thing.













Speaking of hot in a towel. This is by far the most gratuitous pic on here, as he's almost naked. And by almost, I mean he is naked, we just can't see it. And currently I can't stand his character (although he wasn't so bad last week). But holy crap.









This is the end. If I post more than four, I'll really feel disgusted with myself. In fact I kind of already do. But it's all in good fun. So I leave you with images of Chris Evans, back when he could still take shirtless pics.

Super Bowl Commercials: Film Trailers!!!

I've decided I don't like how Hulu embeds videos, but I'm too lazy to search them out on YouTube. So you'll just have to DEAL.

Star Trek



mehhhh. I was mildly excited by the first trailer. This one just makes it look like one giant action romp, which is not so ok with me.

Race to Witch Mountain



I think I would really like this if the Rock wasn't in it.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen



Ehhhh. I enjoyed the first one because I'm a fanboy, but I'm not sure anyone can sell me on the Giant Unicycle of Doom.

Land of the Lost



The trailer is really funny, but I'm concerned that may be all of it.

GI Joe



Yay YouTube for having it when Hulu didn't. I have to say of all the trailers I saw this is the one I'm most excited about. I can forsee all of the many, many, many places this movie could disappoint me, but for the time being I'm going to keep an open mind.

Super Bowl Commercials: Some of my favorites

I can't really believe they got away with this, but I loved it.



This wouldn't have been nearly as funny if they hadn't kept going with it. The fact that it lasts like a minute was hysterical.



Doritos was on fire. This was the less funny of the two.



I missed this one yesterday.



Second funniest one, behind the career builder one.

There are more if you look on hulu, but this post is already going to be like six pages.
